			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is just some notes, for reference really.  Both relate to Windows XP.  Homefully these notes will stop further hair removal in the future if they should reappear&#8230;</p>
<p>STOP 7b &#8211; INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE &#8211; not only can this mean that the storage driver isn&#8217;t loading but it can also be caused by something like a chipset driver not loading.  In particular, something in the CriticalDeviceDatabase.  I have seen this crop up with Roxio&#8217;s drvmcdb.sys file.   This is registered in the registry as a service.  This service is listed as a lower filter on the CD-ROM class in the registry and the CD-ROM service is listed in the CriticalDeviceDatabase. So, if there is a problem with the drvmcdb.sys file then Windows won&#8217;t load with a 7b code.</p>
<p>STOP C2 &#8211; BAD_POOL_CALLER &#8211; I&#8217;ve seen this caused by a corrupt ntuser.dat for one of the machine&#8217;s users.  It took ages to troubleshoot this one, because even doing a repair install of Windows will not stop it.  Setup will BSOD at &#8220;Completing Installation&#8221; with 24 minutes left.  Restoring a backup from the System Volume Information cures it.</p>
